The Miss Universe 2011 pageant is about to start but before that, check out our Top 16 picks!
Last year, I was able to predict that Ximena Navarette of Mexico will win Miss Universe 2010. This year, I can’t make up my mind. I’m rooting for Miss Philippines but two other Asian candidates–Miss Malaysia and Miss China–are equally strong and one of them can potentially make an upset.
Nevertheless, here’s my Top 16:
1. MISS PHILIPPINES, Shamcey Supsup
2. MISS MALAYSIA, Deborah Henry
3. MISS CHINA, Luo Zilin
4. Miss Greece, Iliana Papageorgiou
5. Miss Australia, Scherri-lee Biggs
TOP 10:
6. Miss Ukraine, Olesia Stefanko
7. Miss France, Laury Thilleman
8. Miss Nicaragua, Adriana Dorn
9. Miss Puerto Rico, Viviana Ortiz
10. Miss Venezuela, Vanessa Goncalves
TOP 16:
11. Miss Angola, Leila Lopes
12. Miss USA, Alyssa Campanella
13. Miss Costa Rica, Johanna Solano
14. Miss Paraguay, Alba Riquelme
15. Miss Netherlands, Kelly Weekers
16. Miss Brazil, Priscila Machado
STRONG ALTERNATES:
Miss Spain, Paula Guillo
Miss Peru, Natalie Vertiz
Miss Mexico, Karin Ontiveros
Miss Trinidad & Tobago, Gabrielle Walcott
Miss Panama, Sheldry Saez
